Interesting Facts

Namaste weighed in at a hefty 124 lbs 11 oz

When the robot goes into drive mode, the operator lifts the arm at the shoulder and crosses them at the elbow creating what looks like the Namaste gesture in Yoga. This was observed by Steve V as drive coach and so from that point on, whenever this neutral position is needed, the drive coach need only yell "Namaste!"

An alternate name for the robot was Mantis due to its folding arms that resemble a praying mantis

Unofficially refered to as "The Memebot" since team members took to writing clever phrases and memes with a sharpie all over the robot. Even underneath!
